Last Week Link-Up!

by Theresa

The general consensus between myself and the rest of my classmates is that while we love Taiwan and will miss it so much, we also simply can not wait to finally be home!

Pretty much since June 24, I’ve been trolling the internet, keeping up to date with all of my favorite blogs, and saving those special recipes that ignite your senses and make your taste buds scream to hurry up and get home because you have to make this!

With only three full days left…

SIDENOTE: we leave Taiwan early Sunday morning, arrive in Tokyo MID afternoon Sunday, arrive in Detroit EARLY afternoon Sunday, and finally get home in the evening. Basically we’re implementing scientific theories developed by Rowling (1997-2007): two turns of a time-turner + disapparation. Obviously The Man is making us fly from Detroit to Cleveland so as to not disturb the general public’s perception of time and space and magic. Most pointless flight ever.

…I have reached that point where I need to start organizing my thoughts and creating my game plan for making each and every one of these delicious treats.

And so, what does a college student studying abroad on the other side of the world miss most about American Food?

Uncertainty is scary, but it forces a lot of change, and change is good. Choose to change.

Rebuilding life in the states with GOOD habits is important. Knowing that I start a brand new job in a brand new city in just a few short weeks has caused me to mentally prepare for making new friends, volunteering, learning, sharing and reminiscing.

And my favorite advice of them all: take the time to process and reflect on everything you’ve done, how you’ve changed, and how this will affect the person that you want to become.
